Using Force to Protect Civilians offers the first comprehensive
analysis of United Nations military protection operations across
time and UN missions, drawing on a novel dataset that covers 200
operations from ten UN peacekeeping missions in Africa from 1999 to
2017. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the book finds
that Blue Helmets succeed as often as they fail when they employ
force to protect, indicating that they can wield force effectively
- under the right conditions - to achieve this priority task. Stian
Kjeksrud shows that effective UN military protection operations
must rest on a deep understanding of perpetrators' motivation and
modus operandi for attacking civilians, facilitating tailored
military responses to stop or reduce physical threats in a timely
manner. Adding to existing knowledge about the conflict-reducing
effect of the presence of uniformed UN personnel, he also finds
that specific actions matter more than the simple presence of Blue
Helmets in large numbers. While protecting civilians is a priority
task for military peacekeepers, we have limited knowledge about how
they fare across time and in different UN missions when they use
force to protect. We also remain largely ignorant of the conditions
leading to successful outcomes when they intervene militarily to
protect civilians from violence. Using Force to Protect Civilians
addresses both of these knowledge gaps, and provides the building
blocks for a theory of the utility of force to protect civilians in
UN peace operations.
